After many weeks of designing and sewing my new quilt I am at the fill the quilt with down stage. I am already in hot water with my other projects making a mess in the house so you can imagine the look on my wife's face when I announced my newest project…down sleeping quilt. I really want to do this with the least mess possible.
I have calculated how much down goes in each chamber and have read everything I can find, but still lack the knowledge to execute a fill using a shop vac.
What I understand is a layer of noseeum is placed at the end of one of the extensions. I assume to block the down from being sucked all the way up into the vac. It looks like next I need to place a container on a scale and tare it out, next I place my down in the container. I assume it is now time to vaccum up my desired 26 grams of down that go into the vac's extension.
Questions – first am I correct up until this point and second how do I get the down out of the extension and into the baffle?
As always this groups help is so greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jamie
